After the Mets parlayed a pair of Braves errors into two runs in the first, the clubs engaged in a middle-innings home run derby. Nick Markakis, Yoenis Cespedes and Matt Kemp hit solo shots in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, respectively, making it a 3-3 game heading into extras.
Mets starter Bartolo Colon notched his fourth quality start in his last five outings, though he received a no-decision.
